One of the things I miss most now are my lazy days, my real lazy days of curling up on the couch after a really long week in my “I wound never leave the house with these clothes on” and watching a marathon of my favorite shows or some mindless tween movie or the we already know what’s going to happen romantic comedy – in hindsight I probably spent way too many hours watching tv – looking back I laugh that sometimes my biggest worry some evenings was what I going to watch on tv…days of the WB – gilmore girls, dawsons creek and my beloved veronica mars – oh how I miss veronica mars.These days my dvr is ready to explode – I usually only make time for scandal and nashville.If we are lucky tony and I get to indulge in a redbox movie, so we try to be selective but sometimes I just need the mindless entertainment of those tween movies. I stayed up way too late but these two hit the spot – –pitch perfect surprised me, it was I thought really funny and the music was good and a decent storyline.Katy Perry I had no idea what to expect – I had a little more respect for her at the end and actually felt bad for her hoping she would find herself love again one day.But then I remembered she was dating John Mayer – talk about setting yourself up for disaster – again.

1} i just post about my clean eating habits and now all i am obsessed with is superbowl food - damn food blogs! thinking i must include this & this...

2} we obviously have said no to lauren way too many times...all she likes to say back to us is no no no...and so the backtalk begins

3} the best thing about the new year - out with old, in with new - last week it was my kitchen - i have done some major purging (anyone want cookbooks? - i get rid of like 25 of them) which means i can shop for new goodies..i got all new spices, got rid of some old crappy pans - used christmas money and credit card points for this and next weekend some new make up - barb - are you ready?

4} this weekend i have to take down my christmas decoration, i really need the room in the house but honestly i do not want to haul out boxes and repack..its the worst part

i sit, still trying to understand such a tragedy
hug and kiss my baby even more
hope she will never witness another of its kind
wish there was a mommy bubble to protect them
grieve so hard for the families of all those involved

my heart aches for those babies and the horror they went through
their parents and the nightmare they are experiencing
friday night - thinking of those babies not with their families

*loving philosophy peppermint bark shower gel *a new mini santa = childhood nostalgia , my husband finds it creepy, lauren loves it - the girls win, it stays*introduced lauren to the muppets, i'm sure i enjoyed it more but she loved dancing to the songs*lots of time at home this year - blankets, twinkle lights, pajamas, playtime*where did my baby go? little miss independant*going to see santa = a total fail. lauren would not let go of me but i did manage some pictures in front of the gorgeous tree because well my tree will never look like this and in case you are curious i still have no ornaments on mine

i did manage 1 christmas craft (thank youpinterest)again i let go of expectations, as you can see from my horrible cutting job (it was 1am and i of course couldn't find any good scissors) - i kept telling myself, she's only 1 and wouldn't careshe still liked it, best $3 i have spent - it has kept her very entertained in the kitchen while i cook next year i will definately make a nicer one
